Awesomeness - got the guy home at least.

Everytime I see a sliced sidewall, I'm happy I got those MT/R/Ks

Those plugs and the red case look like Safety Seal... top quality kits, I highly recommend them.

I have used them on lots of my rides, never a bad thing to try.

Used many times, they work really well !
My plug set (from Walmart) had a couple of warnings:
- make sure tire is professionally repaired when "back to civilization"
- no high speed (i believe <60mph)

Growers of the wachy weed would put roofing tacks in the mudholes of the logging roads to keep people out. I kept plugs and an air pump on my ATV. I place them as essential equipment in my vechicles.
